Well, my computer suddenly shutdown (not a normal shutdown.. a shutdown like the electricity disappeared or someone pulled the plug, but that's just how it looked, nobody really did that). And after that, my speakers stopped working.
Audio device was not plugged in (says W7). Uninstalled Realtek HD Audio and then reinstalled it. Audio worked again, but now my front speakers don't work.
I have a 5.1 setup (Logitech X-530).
AND my sound only works when I enable Speaker Fill. I never had to do it that way.. I could still have sound without that enabled, but now I don't get any sound at all without enabling Speaker Fill.
Even so, my front speakers still don't work.
This is really annoying, because now I'm only getting sound on 1 side of my ears.
Oh, and voices (from music, movies, games etc.) are only coming from the center speaker now, which wasn't the case before everything messed up.

Any idea how I might fix both my sound and that Speaker Fill weirdness?

Using the latest Realtek driver *Using the EXACT same driver as before.
Rebooted
Tried older driver from a disc (motherboard disc with drivers)

Motherboard: MSI 870A-G54

I could really use some help :(
If I can't solve it with the help of people on this website, I'll probably just try and reinstall my Windows 7 (not gonna do 8).

I reopened your thread. I do believe the mod who closed it did so because you were bumping. Just be patient especially with issues that are not that common.

It sounds to me like the shutdown was actually caused by a short somewhere. Have you verified the speakers still work on a different system and the problem is not a blown fuse in the speakers? It could also be a damaged motherboard. I don't really see a reinstall of Windows fixing this.

Make 100% sure the speakers are plugged in correctly and maybe try clearing CMOS.
